Chapter 7: Found

"So what we got?" Paul asked his detectives.

"Leo was supposed to go to work but according to his boss Leo never showed up. Also his dad said that several of Leo's clothes and some money are missing." Adam said.

"I called up the day centre to see if they knew where Leo was, they said no but apparently Kane also called in sick today." Tyler added.

"He's lives in an apartment in Brooklyn with a roommate called Stan Harold." Ivan said. "Called Kane's folks to see if they knew where he was but they haven't heard from him." Mary said.

They said the last time they saw their son was when they visited last year and stayed in an apartment where Kane grew up." She added.

"Why would Kane and Leo run away togther?" Paul asked. "If Kane thinks he's the father then it make's sense that he'd help Leo run to prevent an abortion and even if he wasn't the father I'd still think he'd help him." Tyler explained.

"Right. Greg and Miles will check out the roommate, see if he can tell us anything."...

"I ain't ever seen the turtle before." Stan said when Adam and Tyler asked him about Kane and Leo.

Stan Harold was a 20 year old mutant cat with snow white fur and blue eyes. He was in wheelchair ever since his was born. "Did Kane ever talk to you about him?" Tyler asked.

"A few times. Me and Kane aren't that close." Stan replied.

"Don't suppose you want to tell us where they went?" Adam asked but he already knew the answer. "So Leonardo's father can abort his baby? Kane told me all about it." The mutant cat glared.

"Cut the attitude man we just want to make sure they're safe." The mutant bear growled.

Stan sighed. "Yeah they were both here this morning. Kane asked to borrow some money but I told him I had no cash, so I gave him my ATM card." Stan explained.

"He could clean you out!"

Stan shook his head. "He won't. If you can't trust Kane then you can't trust any one."...

Mary and Ivan met up with Tyler and Adam in the neighbourhood where Kane grew up to see if they found something.

Leonardo had now been missing for 3 hours. "Kane came backto the old neighbourhood?" Ivan asked. "Home is where the heart is. About 2 hours ago a sercurity camera caught Kane taking out $200 on this street." Tyler said

"You can barely get dinner around here for $200." Adam commented.

"Well a couple like that's gotta stand out. If they spent the money around here someone's going to remember them." Mary suggested. "OK, you guys take Brooklyn and we'll take Broadway." Ivan said...

Soon Tyler and Adam had found a pharmacy.

"Have you seen these two?" Tyler asked and showed the guy at the counter a picture of Leonardo and Kane. "Oh yeah they were here, real nice couple." He smiled.

"What did they want?" Adam asked.

"Well the jackle said that the turtle was puking but I couldn't give him anything over the counter because he said he was pregnant. I told them to buy some ginger ale."...

"Have you seen these two?" Ivan asked the woman at the counter of a grocery store.

He showed her a picture of Leo and Kane. "Yeah, really adorabel couple, they both came up to the counter holding hands and smiling. Bought some ginger ale and I guess they've got a new born." She shrugged.

"Why's that?" Mary asked.

"They just about cleared me out a diapers. New born sized." The lady replied. "When they left did you happen to see which direction they headed in?" Ivan asked.

"I can do better." The lady smiled and pulled out a form.

"They said that they need money and the turtle said that he had expericence working in a supermarket. I could tell he was slow but stocking shelves ain't rocket science. The jackle filled in the application."

She then handed the detectives the form...

Mary and Ivan soon arrived at the apartment where Kane and Leo were staying at.

When they got there Mary knocked on the door. Leo answered and when he saw the detectives he smiled. "Hey there Leo, mind if we come in and talk to you?" Mary asked.

Leo led them into the apartment.

It was a small apartment with a kitchen, dining room, a room with a sofa and a TV, a bathroom, two beds and on the dining room table was a bag of groceries and some diapers.

"Hmm, something smells good, what are you making?" Mary smiled when they entered the kitchen.

"Thoup." Leo smiled. "Do you wan thome chocolate milk?" He asked. "Sure." Ivan smiled and Leo poured them two glasses. "Leo, you know that your daddy and little brothers are worried about you." Mary explained.

Leo tensed up slightly.

"N-No, daddy wan to take away my baby. He dond think I can do thingth." Leo whimpered. "No sweetie, your daddy loves you very much and he really wants you back home." Mary soothed.

Suddenly the door opened.

Everyone turned around and saw Kane standing in the doorway. "Kane!" Leo cried happily and hugged his boyfriend. "What are you do here?" He asked the detectives.

"We're here to take Leo home." Ivan said.

"You can't take our baby!" Kane snarled and gentle moved Leo to stand behind him. "Relax we don't want that, we're just going to take a little ride down to the squad room." The mutant lion explained.

Kane looked at the detectives and then back to a frightened Leo.

He sighed...

"LEONARDO!" Splinter gasped and wrapped his son in an affectionate hug.

"Ah am OK Daddy." He sighed. Splinter pulled away and glared at Kane. "What did you do to my son?!" He snarled and Mary held him back. "I never harmed Leo." Kane said.

"He kidnapped and raped him." Splinter snarled to Mary.

"Leo went willingly." She confirmed. "I couldn't hurt Leo. Today I tell him what sex is he didn't believe me." The mutant jackle explained nervously, afraid that Splinter would attack him again.

"What did he say sex was?" Ivan asked.

"He said that's not sex that's exercise."...
